Edmonton Catholic Schools is excited to offer an innovative program designed to create positive learning experiences for children and parents outside of an Early Learning classroom.

The EMU – Early learning Mobile Unit, offers a distinctive play area in the cozy and unique environment of a 39 foot converted motorhome.  The EMU offers family-friendly, fun and stimulating programming for both children (aged two and a half to five years) and their parents. Take-home ideas from each session are provided to assist parents in creating a positive learning environment at home.

Children have the opportunity to engage in developmentally appropriate learning and parents are able to connect with other families and resources in their community.  Our interactive 1.5 hour program includes circle and story time, play centers and physical activities.

Families visiting the EMU will have access to:             

• Reggio inspired learning approach
• Literacy rich environment
• Inclusive Programming
• Services of a multi-disciplinary team including: Speech-Language Pathologist, Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Behaviour Specialist, Adapted Physical Education Specialist, Family School Liaison Workers
